Chapter 113 Decision

• After offering Stella more advice, Sara returned to the party, while Stella lay down, staring at the ceiling, grappling with what to do, the kiss Brian gave her, and whether she’d regret her choice later.
• Brian, too, couldn’t focus on the celebration, his thoughts consumed by Stella and what her decision might be. He watched people dancing and enjoying themselves but felt detached from the festive mood, so he decided to leave. He informed Uriel and approached Philip.
• “You’re being a great host, but I can’t focus or enjoy the party,” Brian said. “I’m sorry, Philip, but I’m heading to my room. Thank you for the warm welcome. Have fun and celebrate plenty.”
